Per la stesura di questo racconto, Fitzgerald si ispirò a fatti autobiografici relativi al periodo trascorso a Hollywood come sceneggiatore e all’amicizia con l’attrice Norma Shearer e con suo marito, il geniale produttore Irving Thalbe. Quello stesso anno pubblicò il suo quarto romanzo “Tenera è la notte” e assistette al tracollo psicofisico della moglie Zelda. Prima di essere venduto per 200 dollari alla rivista American Mercury, il racconto ricevette numerosi rifiuti a causa della sua lunghezza, dei chiari riferimenti a persone reali e alle dinamiche sociali di Hollywood, ma anche per le esplicite allusioni sessuali. Fitzgerald su rifiutò sempre di modificarne anche solo una virgola.

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was an American writer of novels and short stories, whose works have been seen as evocative of the Jazz Age, a term he himself allegedly coined. He is regarded as one of the greatest twentieth century writers. Fitzgerald was of the self-styled "Lost Generation," Americans born in the 1890s who came of age during World War I. He finished four novels, left a fifth unfinished, and wrote dozens of short stories that treat themes of youth, despair, and age. He was married to Zelda Fitzgerald.
